Our review of Netflix’s The Toys That Made Us. Synopsis: For some people, the favourite memories from their childhoods are playing with toys, some of which become iconic through the years as multiple generations of people play with the venerable playthings. This series takes a look at some of America’s greatest toy franchises, including the people and companies that created them, telling the stories of the rise — and, sometimes, fall — of the billion-dollar creations. Some of the featured toys are original creations, such as Barbie, while others are based on pop-culture franchises, including the “Star Wars” line. In Season 2 they feature Star Trek, Transformers, LEGO and Hello Kitty.

We also speak with comics legend Howard Chaykin will join us via phone to talk about the re-release of Batman Thrillkiller, a DC Elseworlds story he created with painter artist Dan Brereton, coming this July. Howard Chaykin started out as a gofer for the legendary artist Gil Kane at 19, which also led him to work for Wally Wood, Gray Morrow, Neal Adams and Byron Preiss, all of whom are greats in the field of comics. This is where he honed his skills as a cartoonist. Before working in film and television he created the graphic novels “Stars Be My Destination” and “Empire”. He was also the artist of the comic adaptation of “Star Wars” as well as the artist of one of the “Luke Skywalker” movie posters. He also created “American Flagg” and “Black Kiss” and did modern updates of “The Shadow” and “Blackhawk”.
